The Pentagon is denying this and it has considerable tools at its disposal to reframe stories it does not like.
As Trump II and Hegseth like movie references, the defense investment story will be reframed by Caddyshack. Trump II is the golfer, Hegseth the groundskeeper and the Iranians are gophers.
"Superior intelligence and superior firepower. That's all she wrote..."
"You know, someone should invest in that."
But that statement was not offered by Pete Hegseth. Hegseth has had one thing on his mind, getting those Iranian gophers. He is so singularly focused that Pete does not see front-running done by Trump's kids, Jared Kushner, Howard Lutnick's kids, Steve Witkoff's kids, Corey Lewandowski, Tom Homan.....
So clearly Pete Hegseth's wanting to profit from his job, like other Trump appointees, is "entirely false and fabricated." Spoken like a psyop. Are you buying?
